[. . . ] This reduces maintenance time and helps to maintain oil cleanliness requirements. 4 Operator Station Safe Front Entry System Comfort and Convenience to Keep People Productive The unique front entry cab allows for easy and safe access onto the track frame. Foot pedals are attached to the door to swing out of the way and are deactivated when the door is open. The reverse slope front window keeps snow and debris from falling onto the window. Accumulated moisture can be removed with the front window wiper/washer. Unobstructed Visibility The engineered cab forward and rear engine design gives exceptional operator visibility, including to the boom side of the cab, so that potential trees to be harvested can be seen without swinging the cab for required visibility. IQAN-MD3 control system The carrier control system provides full function graphics display for easy monitoring of machine parameters. Operators can enter individual response preferences to customize the joystick controls. Heated Air Suspension Seat The heated air suspension seat features lumbar support and neck rests that provide optimum comfort. Armrests are adjustable in all directions and angles for full arm support, a reinforced seat structure designed for track machines absorbs added shock loads and optional four-way seat isolator provides additional vibration dampening. Channeled Air Flow System A 40, 000 BTU air conditioning and heater system includes channeled air flow to louvered vents for full coverage of the operator and defrosting/defogging of windows. An automatic control system maintains consistent temperature for a constant comfort level. Molded Consoles and Headliner The molded consoles and headliner incorporated storage compartments and trays eliminate cab clutter. Two 12-volt power points provide flexibility in mounting additional electric and electronic equipment. Structures and Undercarriage Built to Work in Rugged Environments Strong X Body Design The full length of the track frames are tied to the car body for strength and durability when maneuvering amongst stumps and rocks. The high walker design provides excellent ground clearance. Easy to Clean The rounded upper surfaces of the track frames shed dirt and debris for easier cleaning and reduced wear. Integral Track Guards/Guides Full length track guards provide complete chain support on uneven ground for reduced wear. Final Drives High torque final drives provide the carrier with a 1. 1 to 1 tractive effort to weight ratio for easy mobility in the woods while maintaining good speed to efficiently navigate from tree to tree. Rollers The 2 top rollers and 8 bottom rollers are identical for parts commonality. Engine Mounted Behind Boom The rear mounted engine provides effective counter balance for lift capabilities at full reach. Tanks Mounted in Counterweight Fuel and hydraulic tanks are incorporated into the rear counterweight for increased balance on a low tail swing carrier. Wide Boom Mounting Base The base of the boom has been widened to provide the strength required for side loads when pulling trees out of the standing forest. Heavy Duty Guarding The engine and hydraulic compartments are well protected from falling debris and have sloped surfaces for easy cleaning. 6 Made for High Stress and Long Service Life Boom and Stick Fixed Linkage Boom The fixed linkage boom provides 7. 1 m (23. 3 ft) reach to the tree with a PF-48 fixed head.
